Internal Martial Arts
I maintain a comprehensive practice of traditional internal martial arts in Seattle as part of Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America (YCGF).
I am a formal lineal student of Zhang Yun laoshi, who studied internal martial arts under Wang Peisheng in Beijing — my practice includes the following arts as taught in the lineage of Wang Peisheng and his disciple Zhang Yun:
Northern Wú style Taiji (
吳氏太極 ) is known for its relaxed character, giving practitioners the ability to off-balance an opponent at first touch by borrowing their force.- Yin style Bagua (
尹派八卦 ) is known for its smooth and fluid nature, giving practitioners the ability to change spontaneously in response to an opponent's actions. - Hebei Xingyi (
冀形意 ) is known for its stability, giving practitioners an ability to express sudden and explosive power.
